I don't have access to full text sorry.
Ooh dear looks like the Hatemonster has taken over. Does this mean all the MSPs will have to be reported for hatecrimes on April 1st? The SNP/SGreens presumably behind this does this mean the SNP and Scottish Greensare all guilty of hate crimes.
Remember it is illegal to disbelieve in nonbinary gender in Scotland from April 1st. How will MSPs know about this stuff without stonewall?

I'm sure it won't be illegal to believe in myriad genders , any more than it is to believe in the Loch Ness Monster. A welcome return to sanity though.

Maybe they don’t think they need to pay Stonewall to provide advice and guidance when they can do so much better on their own. 😠Plus, they have to save money somewhere.
